Time Imprint captures the fleeting ripples formed by raindrops, translating them onto wood. The concentric ripple patterns on the surface symbolize the eternity of time and space, while the natural texture of the wood represents the vitality of nature, recreating the harmony between stillness and movement in both time and nature.

The natural flow of the wood's grain blends seamlessly with the carved ripple patterns, creating a dynamic visual effect. As light and shadow shift from different angles, each perspective offers a unique experience.

Time Imprint showcases how digital design in contemporary art can, through precise machine fabrication, capture and convey the tranquility and depth of traditional craftsmanship. It invites viewers into a reflective space where nature, art, and technology converge.

時紋捕捉了下雨時的水波紋瞬間，轉譯到木頭之上。作品表面的環狀水波紋象徵了時間與空間的永恆，木材的自然質感則代表了大自然的生命力，重現了時間跟自然的靜與動。

木材表面紋理的自然流動跟切割出的各種水波紋相容，創造出動態的視覺感，隨著不同角度的光影變化，讓每個觀看角度都帶來不同的感受。

時紋展現了數位設計在當代的藝術表達中，如何以機器精密的製作捕捉並傳遞傳統手工的靜謐與深邃，將觀者引入內省，享受自然、藝術、科技的融合。
